WELCOME!

Welcome to Squirrel's slightly nutty world of rubber stamping, papercraft, cats, Formula 1 and a variety of other off-the-wall topics. It's fabulous to see you and I hope you enjoy your time here. Please do pop back and visit me again soon!

Afternoon peeps! I hope you managed to have a good Christmas - we did, it was so relaxing with it just being the two of us and Rosie on Christmas Day, and Rosie was so relaxed that she fell asleep in the middle of a Scrabble game, literally, right across the board!

Anyhoo, I'm here today with a late entry for the challenge over at As You Like It where you have to say what your favourite Christmas colours are and why.

Although I make a lot of traditional coloured projects at Christmas, I do really love being able to make non-traditional ones too, and my favourite colours are pink, purple and turquoise for these. They still look festive but with extra pizazz! Many of my makes are for girlfriends, so it's so nice to be able to feminise Christmas.

Getting Inky

I use Distress Inks (ReInkers) as watercolours to paint my images. That's with a real brush and real water. This capricious medium does not give the same results each time, so if you are looking for marker pen perfection, you won't find it here!

Such an honour!

About Me

Hi There! I'm Squirrel and have been crafting forever but only papercrafting since 2005. I am TOTALLY addicted to rubber stamping and painting with Distress Inks (ReInkers). I share my life with my darling husband, Mr Toad, and Rosie, the tabby with cattitude. My beloved cat, Vince (see photos below) is missed every day. I work full time in the legal profession which doesn't leave me much free time to play but I still manage a card or two each week! Thanks for dropping by and spending time with me, I hope you enjoyed your visit enough to want to come back again.

All I can say is wow, wow, wow! Your coloring is amazing! In fact, I myself would love a tutorial from you on how you do it. If you decide to create one I would happily link your blog post on mine when you do. Thanks for sharing your creativity....love the coloring, really, I do.
